Michael van Gerwen thanks walk-on number to Robin van Persie: ''This makes me feel good''
PDCWednesday, 27 December 2023 at 14:00
Michael van Gerwen returns to action Wednesday night at the World Darts Championship. As always, "Mighty Mike" enters the arena with the rise song Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes.
That song has been the three-time world champion's attendance number for more than a decade. ''That came during the time when Robin van Persie played at Manchester United,'' Van Gerwen explained in conversation with AD.nl. ''Then they sang 'Ooooh, Robin van Peeersieeee'. The same goes for Vincent (van der Voort, ed.). His walk-on is derived from a supporters' song from the time Rafael van der Vaart played at Tottenham Hotspur."
''This is where I feel comfortable and I won a lot with it so that's why I've always kept it that way,'' Van Gerwen continued. The world number two thinks some players have chosen just a boring number.
''Recently (at the Players Championship Finals, ed.) I played against Belgian Mario Vandenbogaerde. He had a Belgian number. Yes, that sounds to the English of course for no meter. As if I would come on stage with André Hazes'', Van Gerwen stated.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
